I went on a search today, for some new and exciting VST plugins as I was feeling a bit bored of the synths I had…
I found a freeware piano called MDA Piano which was, actually, fairly crap. But free, and as far as free VST instruments go, it did actually sound almost like a piano. I will probably use it at some stage. I have worse sounding piano sounds on Absynth.
The next thing I found was a joy to behold. Also free – Mr Tramp. It’s a kinda electric piano / Rhodes sorta sound, and I really just love it to bits. Nice and warm and funky and just really cool.
And the third thing I was impressed by was Magnus Choir. Although, I was very quickly unimpressed by the demo version making annoying loud BEEPS! Every ten seconds. I am thinking of buying it, even though I have been horridly put off by the stupid beeps while trying to try it out. It’s just the sort of thing that thoroughly annoys me. They should’ve picked a less annoying way to protect there program, because the only reason I haven’t bought it yet, is because I’ve been so annoyed by it. But I might still buy it… When I get less annoyed. Maybe. I don’t really need a choir, but I just thought it was particularly good for something so cheap. Hmmmm. Decisions.
I also tried out a synth called Voxynth, which wasn’t really my thing, but it was much easier to trial without being annoyed, so I think it deserves some kudos. It just goes silent after three minutes. Much better idea than stupid loud annoying beeps every ten seconds.
